mingtCn, Ono, the secretary conferred
with hin in regard 70 the neE5 meeting
when he remarked thai if no proposals
reached headquarters this summer
from Z responsible source, the next
meeting will be held in Washington City
ia February next, as the constitution pro
yides.
This proposition coming from leading
fc.tizars Of Fort Worth, and ind0rsed by
the wee presidents Ct the state OF Texas,
seems, sufficient to Justify the Vedette
